Detecting Another Spread of Covid-19, "Ciungwanara" Center Conducts Antigen Test

CIBINONG (July 14, 2021) - The Ministry of Social Affairs, through the Ciungwanara Center Bogor, is again carrying out the Rapid Antigen Test as a follow-up to the direction of the Indonesian Minister of Social Affairs, Tri Rismaharini through the Service Note of the Head of the Organization and Personnel Bureau of the Ministry of Social Affairs dated 25 June 2021. The implementation of the Rapid Antigen Test is held regularly to detect the spread of the COVID-19 virus in the Ciungwanara Center Bogor environment.

The Head of the Ciungwanara Center, Siti Sari Rumayanti, explained that the Rapid Antigen Test will be carried out regularly once a week. This is to detect the spread of the Covid-19 virus which is currently experiencing quite high transmission rates among the community.

Based on updated statistical data on July 16, 2021, the number of Indonesian people who were confirmed positive for COVID-19 was 2,570,000 people, with 2,120,000 people recovering and 67,355 people dying.

"Under these conditions, we must apply health protocols more, eat with adequate nutritional intake, and contain food that is rich in nutrition and healthy. Everything we do can suppress the spread of the Covid-19 virus," said Sari.

For the implementation of the Rapid Antigen Test this time, Ciungwanara Center is still collaborating with the Fit Care Clinic.

The Fit Care Clinic team of doctors is very happy to be able to assist Ciungwanara Center in carrying out Rapid Antigen Tests for all employees, beneficiaries, and parties within the Center. "This activity is very good considering that currently the spread of the COVID-19 virus is quite high," said the Fit Care team of doctors.

The Rapid Antigen Test was carried out on 82 people, with details of 50 Ciungwanara Center employees, 16 beneficiaries and public kitchen participants, 13 Tagana members, and 3 Inten Soeweno Center employees, all of whom had negative results.

Meanwhile, 1 Ciungwanara Center employee carried out the Rapid Antigen Test independently at home on July 13 2021 with a positive result and is waiting for the PCR schedule. Currently, this employee has carried out independent isolation at home.

"Don't be, because the results of the Antigen Rapid Test this time are negative, it will make us careless about maintaining health protocols. We must strictly maintain health protocols and keep taking care of ourselves so that our body's immunity is good," concluded Sari.
